With the occasion of summer, I have become distant. However, I have been enticed by Christopher Paul Stelling's new album, False Cities . The album follows Stelling's debut, Songs of Praise and Scorn , manifesting mildy dark acoustic strutting, murmurings of hell, and the cast of other psychically vacant lots. What does it all mean? take in Brick x Brick order "Brick x Brick" dates: [...]
Singer-songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling has been on the road isinge he released hsie debut album Songs of Praise and Scorn in February 2012. He has seen a lot while traveling and many tales found their way to his new album False Cities . He is old school, relying on his voice and acoustic guitar to get his message across, with a bit of violin (Kieren Ledwigde) and bass (Michael Harlen). His hoarse vocals, not unlike Kevn Kinney and Malcolm Holcombe, add a touch of [...]

This weekend is the historic Newport Folk Festival , sure to be a great time with great music. Here I highlight albums by 3 artists that will NOT be at Newport this year, but they’d fit right in there and with any luck one day they’ll play the harbor. The Pines: Dark So Gold A look at the album cover (neglected scarecrow against silhouette of a bleak horizon) and the title of the album (Dark So Gold) tells you almost all [...]

After sweeping away hearts and minds at SXSW, acoustic singer-songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling sits down PopMatters to discuss how he made slippers from a bolt of leather, why he traded in half of his recording instruments for a single guitar, and how exactly he'd recast Star Wars with characters from The X-Files ... Christopher Paul Stelling knows a few things about atmosphere. A quick listen to his album Songs of Praise & Scorn reveals a songwriter that is raw and honest, absolutely unafraid to address the listener directly, something that's evidenced by his stripped-down, bare-bones [...]
Mention SXSW to the average guy in the street around any part of the UK and you`d be hard pushed to find one in twenty passers-by with any idea of the significance or tradition associated with those four capital letters. It`s hardly surprising really, Austin TX is 4,913 miles away from London, making the cost roughly equivalent to your average European family holiday. As a rule, more out of abstract jealously than journalistic laziness, I tend to tip-toe around that magical week of musical chaos and post a generous handful of mp3`s from featured SXSW artists offered up [...]

Awhile back we featured Christopher Paul Stelling’s spell-binding song and video Strange Darkness , a single off his long-awaited full-length Songs of Praise & Scorn. Well the wait is almost over as Mecca Lecca Recording Co . gets set to release Stelling’s debut album February 21 st 2012. Recorded mostly live above a working funeral home in Louisville KY, the hushed echoes and reverent atmosphere set the tone for an impassioned study of stellar, modern-day, troubadour singer-songwriting. Leading off with the gentle, ramblin’ hobo-folk of Mourning Train [...]
Not often do I pop open a music video and find myself immediately holding my breath and covered in goosebumps but Christopher Paul Stelling’s live recording of Strange Darkness has changed all that. It also confirms that as much as I love wacky plotlines, outrageous costumes and yes, dance sequences, nothing ever really gets to me the way a raw performance of a great song with just a musician and his guitar. Stelling’s stunning, bare bones recital filmed in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park is a portrait of rare, quiet beauty. Surrounded by trees, bugs twirling in the dappled sunlight and [...]
